Slice Serve on the Deuce Side: Technique & Targeting Tips

Toss to 1 o’clock, hit the right side of the ball, go “thin and fast” to create spin. Shorter contact = wider angle. Attack with precision and slice.

Key Points

  • Throw the ball toss a little to the right of 1 o’clock so you can hit the right side of the ball
  • The shorter you hit the serve, the wider it will go
  • To gain more spin or slice on the ball, accelerate right before contact
  • Aim for a thinner contact on the slice serve
  • “Thin and fast” attacking the side of the ball as fast as you can
